Pio Cesare's Barbaresco is the result of a careful selection of Nebbiolo grapes from vineyards owned by the family, located in different positions within the Barbaresco area: in Treiso (Cascina Il Bricco, San Stefanetto and Bongiovanni) and in San Rocco Seno D'Elvio (Rocche di Massalupo).
THE WINE:
A very classic Barbaresco: elegance and finesse, ripe and spicy fruit, important but not overpowering tannins, good structure and concentration. Very long-lived.
Barbaresco di Pio Cesare is not a “basic” Barbaresco, but has always represented, as per tradition, the most faithful expression of the various great terroirs of the Barbaresco area. Perfect to drink with; Mature cheeses, Pasta with meat sauce, Game, Stewed red meat and Roast and grilled meat.
VINIFICATION AND REFINING:
Vinification In steel. Maceration on the skins for about 30 days at rather high temperatures. Aging In French and Slavonian oak barrels for about 30 months and a small part in barriques.
